oh cool thanks i didn't even notice that. and what are you a journalist? nice writing skills!

Nah, i think cara is just trying to keep her sanity, we all know she's preparing for a Detroit Loss in the First Round...

/me runs quickly.

:rofl:

Not professionally. ;)

I use to write a column for a NHL site but gave it up a while back when work got heavy. I have decided to revise my old habits here and post some stuff for the forum population. :)

As for xStainDxx... The Wings have a better chance of advancing than the Isles so... ;) Sticks and Stones by break my bones but a puck in the face can kill you. ;)

I might also point out to all of you Detroit bashers...

http://www.detroitredwings.com/poll/poll_view.asp

;) The poll from the Official Detroit Red Wings site...

How will the Red Wings vs. Ducks series play out?

1359 - Wings in 4

3794 - Wings in 5

1086 - Wings in 6

85 - Wings in 7

121 - Ducks in 4

73 - Ducks in 5

98 - Ducks in 6

77 - Ducks in 7

My vote is in bold. ;)

Once again you people will see that the Anaheim vs Detroit series will be the best of all the current or future series this year. Everytime Anaheim has made the playoffs Detroit beat them, swept them actually, and Anaheim did exactly what they did tonight to them in years past. Tonights game was about 5 min longer then the other game that went to 3 overtimes in '97. Maybe people will learn to respect west coast hockey, Orange County sure punched alot of people in the mouth tonight.

irate over the obviously bad call which unfairly disallowed a goal by Luc Robitaille which would have won the game early in the overtime session.

luc had a nice shot, just didn't go in the net, very close, but they just didn't get in in the net. hitting the post doesn't count. sorry :rofl:

avs lost...doesnt really matter though, the wings lost and thats all that matters for right now :)

It does count when you hit the post...the inside of the post is technically (by NHL Rules) a goal, it's the outside which doesn't count.

Thus, the goal by Lucky Luc should have stood as two of ESPN's replays clearly show the puck going off TWO of the posts, both on the inside.

But, as with most games, the refs tend to rule against Detroit... For example, they were called for 'Too many men on the ice' in 12 straight games, a new league record from my research.

it's not a goal until the entire puck has crossed the red line. it is not possible for a puck to hit the post, rebound out, and be a goal.

Rule 57:

a) A goal shall be scored when the puck shall have been put between the goal posts by the stick of a player of the attacking side, from in front and below the crossbar, and entirely across a red line the width of the diameter of the goal posts drawn on the ice from one goal post to the other with the goal frame in its proper position.

Anyone watch that great game with the Ducks and the Wings?

Triple overtime and the Wings dominated but the Ducks came out on top... I want the Wings to win it all, but that goalie on Anaheim is a wall

that was a great game...i was happy to see a favored team lose...nothing against the red wings but i have to pull against them since they are defending champs...

Check your NHL Rule Book there BroChaos...

Should a puck enter the net in such a fashion as it were to strike one or more parts of the goal-post while the majority (50%+) of the puck is across the goal line, a goal will be awarded.

<Edit : Off that rule doesn't mention a defending player's ability to score against their own net. Though with all the rules I suppose many things are covered under many rules. >

which rule is that?

i've played hockey my whole life and have never heard of such a rule, and i do not see it in the current rule book.

how on earth can a ref ever declare a puck "50%" in? what if it was only "49%"? that just doesn't seem to be a logical statement....

Don't ask me, it's just quoted under the following

Section 21 ( Guidelines for Allowing Goals )

In the manual I have. Got it (signed by Bill McCreary) at an NHL Charity Auction.

I suppose it could be an on-ice call but given it's in there I always took that as an officially sanctioned rule. I'm going to write Panger at ESPN and ask him about it and see what he responds. I'll let the ESPN Archive Monkeys do the work. ;)

Have you ever read the rules and then guidelines for calling penalties? The entire thing is a contradiction. A rule says something can be called one way yet the officials are clearly told it requires a different set of criteria.

Either way I'll post the responce I get from Panger if/when I get it. :) Might end up trying Barry or John since I see their eMails right on the ESPN site.

hmmm, i've never read the "guidelines". i don't think the guidelines mean anything though. the rule book is the rule book. there's no way they would ever count a goal where the puck only crosses the line half way...it's just not possible.

the officials made the right call tonight.

*edit* i'd be interested in hearing what they say

You and me both. :)

It's the Official Ref Manual so I don't know if they are 'law' or 'suggestion' but there is some intresting things in there. When to step into a fight, what you can throw a coach out for saying... It's a good read if you can ever get a copy. ($500 USD At Auction for me)

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
